Mute Group assignments

Mute Grouping is a function that links the [ON] key oper- ations of multiple channels. This lets you mute multiple instruments by pressing a single [ON] key, or press a sin- gle key to alternate the on/off status of multiple track channels.

1 Call the MONITOR screen Mute Grp. page by either pressing the Quick Navigate sec- tion [MONITOR] key as many times as nec- essary, or by pressing the [F3] key after pressing the [MONITOR] key.

This page contains the following items.
